There has been a false rumor going around on the net that Reggae star Sizzla Kalonji died in a car accident, again.
Sizzla Kalonji battled a fake car crash accident report in October 2011. Last night, that same fabricated death story resurfaced, angering fans. For unexplained reasons, persons on social media have been consistently retweeting the fabricated car accident story since last night. Yet, Sizzla Kalonji is not dead!
The author who published the fake death rumors is Global Associated, aka Media Fetcher. And while the fabricated report is not unique, it is prompting massive confusion today.
On Twitter, fans have been irate about the fabricated tales. “Sizzla been dying in car crashes for about 5 years now” said one fan.
Another, however, wrote “R.I.P Sizzla, ironic how you died in a car crash.”
The fabricated Sizzla report is not unique. The “Route 80″ car crash story has been used innumerable times by Global against music celebrities, from David Guetta to Tiesto to even DJ Pauly D.
It remains unclear the motive by Global in creating the story.
In the bottom, Global puts in small caption the disclaimer that the death story is false. But it claims that it was done for “entertainment purposes”.
It claims that the story is “based on zero truth and is a complete work of fiction for entertainment purpose.” It remains unclear what is entertaining about falsely calling a celebrity dead.
